When you visit Noosa and appreciate its natural and cultural attractions, you could be forgiven for feeling like you never want to leave.

Noosa’s National Park, teeming with wildlife, its forested edges scalloped with perfect beaches, is only a ten-minute walk from one of Australia’s most elegant shopping strips — Hastings Street —offering stylish restaurants, trendy cafes, bars, designer fashion boutiques just a few steps from the turquoise waters of Noosa Main Beach.

A five-minute drive or a leisurely ferry ride up the Noosa River from Tewantin takes you to neighbouring Noosaville, now growing in reputation for fine dining and great shopping. Noosaville takes full advantage of its riverfront location, with plenty of playgrounds, barbecue areas, walking tracks and fishing platforms along the shoreline.

The Noosa North Shore is a long stretch of white sand and dunes as far as the eye can see. It's the ideal spot to really get away from it all on a 4WD adventure, camping holiday or a horse ride at sunrise.
